Lady Blackhawk

When the “DC Superheroes” Supergirl figure finally hit stores (albeit in small quantities!), I was struck by how well her skirt would work for a Lady Blackhawk. (I had just finished reading the latest issue of Birds of Prey.) Soon, I had a Lady Blackhawk custom started. The body, shoulders (read more...)

Krypto

Since I was on a quest to complete the McGuiness-style Bat and Super teams from “Public Enemies,” I had to include Krypto. True, he only appeared in a couple of panels, and then he was in shadow, but he was on the cover. That’s as good a reason as any. (read more...)

Killer Moth (Year One)

Beware the terror that is Killer Moth! Tremble in fear of his horrifying visage! Okay, maybe not. Killer Moth has gotten a lousy reputation over the years. How could he not? Just check out his fashion sense over the years. (You can do so at YPB’s excellent Killer Moth Appreciation (read more...)

Huntress (One Year Later)

Another quick and simple, but effective, project. Beginning with the “One Year Later” stories, the Huntress’ costume was modified to cover her abdomen, legs and arms. I added a small amount of Magic Sculpt to hide the existing seam above the abdomen, and the rest is black or white paint. (read more...)

Huntress (McG Style)

McGuinness-style customs are a lot like animated figures: they tend to easily multiply .I knew I might get sucked in once I made Superlad. Huntress is part of my effort to finish out the “S” and “B” teams seen in the “Public Enemies” storyline. The base figure is a McG (read more...)

Harvey Dent (Hush)

As I’ve said before, I’m a huge fan of the “Hush” story, and I don’t mind admitting it. If DC Direct made every character that appeared in the story, I’d be a happy little camper. But since that’s not too likely, I’ll make up the slack. Harvey here happened by (read more...)

Harley Quinn (Sale Style)

It seems when I start to make one Harley, I can’t help but make more. Though in retrospect, I don’t recommend painting multiple variations of that costume at one time to anybody. I am an unabashed fan of “Long Halloween” and “Dark Victory.” Jeph Loeb’s script and Tim Sale’s art (read more...)

Harley Quinn (McG Style)

It seems when I start to make one Harley, I can’t help but make more. Though in retrospect, I don’t recommend painting multiple variations of that costume at one time to anybody. I love the Ed McGuinness figures by DC Direct. Yeah, they can be corny, and the some of (read more...)

Harleen Quinzel (Arkham Asylum Inmate)

I have enjoyed the heck out of the Arkham Asylum and Arkham City games. They’re effectively a CGI, “realistically” rendered extension of the animated series. I also enjoy the art of Carlos D’Anda, who was a character designer on the game, and also illustrated the Arkham City comic (written by (read more...)

Hall of Justice

First, I have to admit I can’t stand any incarnation of this cartoon. Even as a kid, I knew the quality was abysmal. The recent DVD did nothing to remove those doubts, and in fact only enforced them. (I tried watching the DVD. I really did. But the ensuing headaches (read more...)
